Born 9th March 2004 in Los Angeles

There were reports that because Sam was born during the production of Scary Movie 3, the movie starring both her parents, that they had wanted a name with the letters S & M in it. Other reports state that Charlie named his daughter after a pet cat, much to Denise's disdain, as she had always wanted a pretty girlie name like Sophia (a name she had dreamed about) or Emma. The J is thought to be an abbreviation for Joni, the name of Denise's mother, who passed away in November 2007
